  • Patent number: 10292489
    Abstract: A table has at least one table leg and a table top, the at least one table leg being pivotable relative to the table top, between an unfolded position and a folded position, about at least one first joint, wherein a strut is held on the table leg so that, at a first end, it is pivotable about a second joint, is provided for fixation of the table leg, and in the unfolded position of the table leg, it is operatively connected to the table top at a second end, opposite the first end. The table leg has a stop limiting the angle between the table leg and the table top in the unfolded position, such that the strut comes into frictional contact with the second end on a support surface held on the table top.

  • Patent number: 9504330
    Abstract: A chair includes a seat and a seat mechanism, the seat being coupled to the seat mechanism in such a manner that the seat is, in a front end region, pivotably supported about a first axis of rotation orientated parallel with the axis of a user's knees. In its front end region, the seat is also supported on the seat mechanism so as to be rotatable about a second axis of rotation orientated perpendicularly to the first axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 8025335
    Abstract: The invention relates to a chair with a seat, a base support and a backrest, wherein the seat is pivotably mounted on the base support and the backrest is pivotably mounted on the seat, and a first spring system is provided between the base support and the seat and a second spring system is provided between the seat and the backrest. Furthermore, means are provided for adjusting the spring behavior of the two spring systems so that the pivotability of the seat in relation to the base support and the pivotability of the backrest in relation to the seat can be adapted to different requirements, especially to users of different weights.

  • Patent number: 7770973
    Abstract: The invention relates to a chair with a seat, a base support and a backrest, wherein the seat is mounted on the base support so as to be pivotable about a first pivoting axis and the backrest is mounted on the seat so as to be pivotable about a second pivoting axis. The two pivoting axes are arranged so as to be displaceable relative to one another in order to be able to change the seat depth.

  • Patent number: 4915034
    Abstract: The invention relates to a table system in which at least two adjacent table elements can be releasably connected via their opposing table top edges with the aid of at least one mechanical connecting arrangement. Of the essentially two-part connecting arrangement a first main part contains a retaining lever which is built into the table top edge region of one table element and can be pivoted outwards, whilst the second main part of the connecting arrangement, built into the table top edge region of the adjacent table element, is constructed so as to receive the retaining lever form-lockingly and contains a securing element for the locking engagement between the first and second main parts. The assembly and disconnection of the individual table elements can be carried out quickly and reliably without additional aids.
